I am far from fluent so hopefully someone with a better understanding will post some corrections.

Edit: the し (shi) on the end of the first phrase is used to join the two parts of that sentence as multiple reasons. So she is saying that the two reasons in the first sentence are why she is becoming stressed.

Don't complain to me that people kick you when you're down. It's your own fault for lying there

Looks fine to me.

But to OP: Posting personal e-mails of this sort is frowned on in this forum; would your girlfriend want her private correspondence to you posted on a public site for the whole world to see? If you can't understand her Japanese, ask her to write in English.

He doesn't know any Japanese yet (aside from some hiragana) and she wrote that to him? I have a distinct feeling this was a "homework" assignment. She wanted him to ask around and find out what it said. Ah, to be young and in love...or infatuated...or maybe just curious... Ah, to be young...

I'm curious why you didn't try babelfish. The last sentence is completely mangled, but the general gist of the message is pretty much there.

I cannot mean that I would like to say. That becomes stress.

Is really the important part here, in babelfishese, but it's still pretty easy to understand. I think you could've also got the gist of the last sentence with rikaichan, but that's not as well known about.

Why go with babelfish when he has a whole group of native speakers, fluent speakers, and students of various levels entirely willing to translate a short, good-faith request, not only accurately, but with nuance?
